Le boghead est un charbon dur et terne à très haute teneur en matières volatiles (55 à 60 %), qui brûle en laissant beaucoup de cendres, ce qui le rend impropre au chauffage domestique. Il est imprégné de matières bitumineuses qui peuvent être libérées par chauffage pour donner des hydrocarbures liquides (huiles). 4, record 1, French, - boghead
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
